What will the Canadian truckers do?
American Thinker ^ | 18 Feb, 2022 | Clifford C. Nichols

Justin Trudeau totalitarian heart grows blacker every day. How will Canada's new beacons of freedom respond?

Justin Trudeau has ordered the seizure of all assets, the freezing of bank accounts, and the cancelation of credit cards for all persons identified by the government to be either directly or indirectly participating in, or supporting, the truckers who are protesting his vaccine mandate.

In short, those Canadians exercising their right to assemble and speak freely in opposition to their government's policies will no longer be allowed to even buy food, pay rent or otherwise provide for their families. And all this is in addition to their being arrested and forfeiting their trucks to the Crown.

Their crime?

Nothing more than their disagreeing with certain policies of Trudeau. Apparently, they feel strongly that it is their right to be able to make their own health care decisions independent of any coercion from their government.

From one perspective, one could say this impasse is about a vaccine. But is it really? If this were all about the health of people, why would Trudeau want to risk some of his citizens being injured and perhaps even shot if they resist...all in order to protect their health? Hardly is this a political strategy easily explained from a public health perspective.

IMO, if there’s bloodshed, Parliament will place the blame on TRADEAU’S illegal acts then wash their hands of all wrongdoing. Evil.

Either you live in a country where the government does what the people want -OR- you live in a country where the people do what the government wants.

Which country it will be is the crux of the current conflict.

I wanted the Truckers to stand strong, shutting down cities....but now, I think they need to just go home and do nothing for a while. No deliveries. 3 days of no food deliveries to shiit hole Toronto because the Truckers have da covid will start things off really impactfully.

I think our truckers should refuse to drive into Canada. It’s too dangerous, after all, their trucks could be confiscated, their loads could be stolen by the Canadian government, they could be thrown in jail for no reason.

Waaaay to dangerous for our guys to go into that third world country.

How biblical can you get?

The explanations in Revelation were not meant to be a how to guide to be the antichrist. It was supposed to be a warning.

Now he’s threatening to confiscate and euthanize their dogs. Next he’ll say they stole the strawberries. 😆

The vaunted Queen won’t do anything. She’s a globalism leftist tool.

Speaking of the Crown, what does the Queen have to say about all this?

The Queen is required to remain politically neutral. She might find some small, private way to express her preferences, but she cannot make a public statement either for or against the truckers.

I think they are trying for a Canadian J6. Just the other day they put up fences around the Parliament. I suspect it is a prop in the coming crackdown

When it comes, police will form a skirmish line forcing the crowd back into the newly built fence. Maybe the police will intentionally aggravate the situation to create a combination of fear and anger.

The media will be there to photograph the entire thing. They will say the crowd was trying to breach the fence, to press onto Parliament. It will be the Canadian “Insurrection”.

So, in other words, the truckers, if they do anything, are screwed?

The truckers certainly can't get violent, but that doesn't apply to the government. Government can (and will) use force.

The most effective (on an emotional level), to me, was a video of the protest out of Milk River, Alberta.

Milk River Twitter Link

If I was amongst the protesters in Ottawa, I would copy absolutely *everything* in this video. Everything. Music (song choice was excellent), prayer (Lord's Prayer), and the truck air horn at the end.
